From what I remember, these chips matched desktop performance quite well. I think I saw some updates around launch time. It’s possible there were changes behind the scenes. Steps really count. As far back as I can recall, it was Socket A to now—7nm+ or Zen2+?
It's essentially the same design but with a smaller die size. That explains why Carrie's Zen name remains consistent. A new release at the same node dimensions doesn't alter the architecture. The improvements come from Net Burst to Core 2, while FX to Zen represents an architectural update. Or perhaps I misinterpreted your message.
The focus isn't on iGPU, but on the overall design. Including one doesn't automatically improve the result.
I conducted some investigation and discovered two screenshots. Both utilize 7nm technology but feature distinct core code names. The stepping patterns also vary; you can observe the desktop at 3600X resolution with a step of 0. The Ryzen 7 4000U employs a step of 1 without any revision, marking it as the initial model for this stepping configuration. It's also noteworthy how the numerical stepping is so straightforward, using just single digits like 0 or 1.
